Suri Cruise’s Scientology Indoctrination Begins

wenn5207728

If you’re Tom Cruise, it’s never too early to start teaching your daughter about Xenu.  Suri Cruise is about to turn three, and she’s all set to start preschool at the Scientology-related New Village Academy.

The Los Angeles school was launched last year by Will and Jada Smith, who continue to claim they are not Scientologists.   In fact, they deny that the school is a Scientology school.  However, this is evidently what Suri can expect when she starts school:

“It is staffed by trained Scientologists and lists ‘study technology’ as a key curricular focus. The children have a lot of responsibilities from a very young age…The school is particularly strict about nutrition, demanding a low-carb, low-sodium and low-sugar organic diet.”

And at the New Village Academy, apparently only perfection is acceptable:

Upon completion of a subject chapter such as in math, the teacher sends the student to the testing room, where he/she is given an test in various forms. If the student scores anything less than 100%, the examinations teacher will sit down with the student and go over the part of the exam that was not fully understood and make sure the student understands all of the words and concepts in the chapter. The teacher will also make sure the student did not skip any concepts which would inhibit learning. This is done to help students so that they gain 100% mastery.

Wow, that sounds like hours and hours of tail wagging fun.  Poor little Suri just learned to walk recently, and now she’s got to get 100% on her math tests?  At least she’ll be the most stylin’ girl in the preschool class!

Zac Efron & Leonardo DiCaprio New BFF’s

Zac Efron at LAX

Zac Efron was spotted arriving at LAX airport after his whirlwind tour of New York. I bet he’s happy to be home again. He did rock his performance on Saturday Night Live.

Zac is revealing in the latest issue of GQ that he has a new BFF. Leonardo DiCaprio. (How lucky is he?) Zac often asks questions of Leo and of course Leo answers back. Leo has also offered some career advice to the actor…

“He ended up asking me questions, and in that, he told me a lot. He said, ‘There’s one way that you can really f— this all up. Just do heroin. If you steer clear of that — the other obstacles you’ll be able to navigate.’ And that makes sense, dude.”

I’m would be very happy to see that Zac doesn’t get messed up with the drugs and drinking, I think he has a great successful life in front of him. He doesn’t need to get into that at all!!

Miley Cyrus: Dogs and Daddy

Miley Cyrus with Billy Ray

Miley Cyrus, the reigning box office princess spent some time with her daddy, Billy Ray Cyrus on Easter Sunday walking their cute pooches.

I love that these two spend quality time together.  The daddy-daughter relationship is so important and keeps your head on straight.  Both Billy Ray and Miley have very busy lives and could easily not spend time together.  But, they make it a point to do so and I think that rocks.

Jennifer Aniston Has Picked A Sperm Donor

Jennifer Aniston 3

Is life imitating art, or vice versa?  Jennifer Aniston‘s upcoming movie, The Baster, may be hitting a bit close to home.   The flick is about a 40 year old single woman who opts for artificial insemination in order to have a baby.

That part shouldn’t be much of a stretch for Jen, 40 years old, single and telling people she is certain she’ll have kids.   Especially since she’s reportedly picked her own donor, should it come to that.  Who’s the lucky guy?  None other than her former Friends co-star David Schwimmer.

I know, I know, this is just too TOO, right?  They had a baby together on the show… so of COURSE she’d choose him in real life.  If sources (oh, those sources!) are to be believed, though, this is a longstanding arrangement.

“Jen said when she and David were still starring on Friends, they made a pact that if they were both single at 40, they’d elope and start a family together… She says David is perfect father material because he’s the whole package – handsome, tall, smart and with a full head of hair!”

Is this even the slightest bit believable?  I don’t know, but what I can tell you is that if I were David Schwimmer, I would not give that woman my man batter.  She is waaayyy too neurotic!

The Tudors Will Live On and On and On

The Tudors

Well, this version of The Tudors will continue for one more season that will premiere next spring with 10 episodes.  And that is the end of King Henry VIII.

Up next could be ….

“By calling the series The Tudors, we’ve at least given ourselves the possibilities of doing other Tudors. Elizabeth has been done to death, but Mary and Edward haven’t, and even Henry’s father hasn’t.”

As for season four, 10 one-hour eps are planned and will focus on the turbulent relationships with King Henry’s last two wives, Catherine Howard and Catherine Parr, and the leader’s descent into madness.

Sounds good. The Tudors has been well received and I think it’s a great idea to continue with some new “characters”.  What do you think?  Love or hate the show?  Happy that it’s not over?

‘House’: Saviors Nearing The End

House

Last night’s episode of House was as enjoyable as it always is.  House continued his amazing way of solving the tough medical cases and finishes off on his piano.  Love it!  You want to know the worst news I’ve got?  There are only four episodes left for the season!  I can’t believe that time has gone so fast!

If you missed House in action last night, read the recap below and be ready for the next one, A House Divided on April 27th…..

A Much Classier Steve-O is Sent Home from ‘Dancing with the Stars’

Steve-O and Lacey Schwimmer

With no dance-off, we found out that Chuck Wicks, Ty Murray and Steve-O were all in trouble… I don’t get it- sometimes they dance-off, sometimes they don’t. And when they do, it doesn’t really make a difference.

The next couple safe was Chuck Wicks and Julianne Hough, and it was revealed that the last couple safe may or may not be in the bottom two. This show is so confusing. Geesh!

Steve-O and Lacey Schwimmer were eliminated, and didn’t look the least bit surprised. He actually spoke with charm and class, like a real grown up man. We are so proud! And Lacey’s smokin’ hot… I’m just sayin’.

Amy Winehouse Terrorizes Children, Locals In The Carribean

amy-winehouse-shopping-at-lipsy

Amy Winehouse is back in St. Lucia for some reason, after a short trip back home to London.    She wowed the locals and tourists with typical Wino antics.

Amy…reportedly whipped off her bikini top on the beach and ran through the family-friendly five-star resort…Open-mouthed guests said she was babbling nonsense to herself and waving her arms in the air as she tore around the pool area where children were playing.

A few days later, she apparently decided to make up for her behavior by trying to interact with some children and pets:

The singer was spotted running around, linking arms and being tugged along by the excitable youngsters on a beach…She was also seen cuddling a cute little black dog.

The Daily Mail calls this behavior “maternal” but I beg to differ.  She probably thought the kids knew where she could score.  Not so sure about the dog.  And I know this is all hard to imagine, but if you click here you can see picture proof.  Scary, I know.

Sendhil Ramamurthy Carries A Man Purse

Sendhil Ramamurthy Carrying Man Purse

Sendhil Ramamurthy plays Suresh on the TV show Heroes. I am not a huge fan of his character which is probably a great set up for the writers. That way I only cheer on the ones I like.

Sendhil is a very private person and even seeing him out and pictures with the paparazzi is almost unheard of. I love his messenger bag/man purse that he is carrying. I am sure that Sendhil could hire someone to carry his things for him. But one thing I do know, it’s his 35th birthday on May 17th so be sure to wish him a happy day then.
